Forward-time Amount of time required for an interface to transition from the Discarding state to the Learning state or from the
Learning state to the Forwarding state.
Hello-time Time interval within which the bridge sends BPDUs.
Max-age Length of time the bridge maintains configuration information before it refreshes information by recomputing the
RPVST+ topology.
Modify the forward-time in seconds in CONFIGURATION mode, from 4 to 30, default 15.
spanning-tree vlan vlan-id forward-time seconds
Modify the hello-time in seconds in CONFIGURATION mode, from 1 to 10, default 2. With large configurations involving more numbers
of ports, Dell EMC recommends increasing the hello-time.
spanning-tree vlan vlan-id hello-time seconds
Modify the max-age (in seconds) in CONFIGURATION mode, from 6 to 40, default 20.
